     I think this is something I meant to do but forgot.  One workaround
for now is to do an XML export, edit the <channelmax> entry for the
nickgroup (search for the nickname and you'll find it in a <nicks> array),
delete/move the *.db files and reimport--but due to the bug that was
reported recently importing may not work for all nicks, so you may want to
wait for the next update.
